    ABSOLUTELY,

    Greater, most of the time, equates to Achievement based lists, which in a lot of cases don't sum it all up.
    That also, usually runs away and all of a sudden certain fighters beat certain other fighters irrespective of the unspoken quantities.

    Len Harvey, OVERALL, P4P, Head to Head, IS the Greatest/BEST fighter Britain has ever produced.

    Titles
    Opposition
    Status
    Contention
    LONGEVITY
    Weight Divisions
    Integrity
    and of course achievements.

    Len Harvey IS the Ambassador for British Boxing!

    wheres do you rate jack kid berg....on paper he has those two great looking wins over kid chocolate...first man to beat him when he was only 20 (both were 20 though I think)...argument is I suppose that his beating chocolate was very controversial..and chocolate was coming up from feather to lightweight and berg was a big lightweight.

    I do like bergs career story though.

    Mc, everytime I watch on youtube "This is Your Life" with Jackie Kid Berg,
    I get a lump in my throat when secretly his old trainer Ray Arcel was flown into England to surprise Kid Berg on the program, who shedded tears seeing his old trainer again after many decades...
